can you not look up his IP and name him (im assuming its a him anyway). Maybe if everyone knows what a prat he is being he will stop (I am asuming its somebody who has issues with blonde).

For future reference:
DELETE
FROM `smf_instant_messages`
WHERE `ID_MEMBER_FROM`=nnn
should do the trick!

How can you name someone from an IP? |

if it is someone who has issues with blonde he will already have been banned using probably the same IP. From that you can deduce who it is (maybe you could also block any other accounts being set up from the same IP)

I'm a donk at computers but if you turn your router off and on you get a different IP right? If you go round a mates house, an internet cafe, get a pay per minute dial up connection, all these change your IP right?

If you turn your router on and off it can still be traced, if he has gone to the trouble of going to a mates or internet cafe then obviously not. Although I dont think there are many internet cafes open at the time these were all sent.

Correct. Unless you are lucky enough to have a static IP. I just noticed that my first post on this thread makes absolutely no sense at all. And I don't remember posting it. Lucky for me I didn't delete the PMs because now I can re-live the experience all over again!!! The empty bottle of vodka sitting by my computer might be a clue, if my headache wasn't clue enough... |

Because it *had* to be sent from someone in our timezone, right? The internet is local to the UK after all...  |

not many people fall out with blonde- all the ones I can think of are a lot more local and in our timezone. Even if you don't have a static IP it can still be easily traced. I think Tikay will probably already know who is responible for this- can you ask whose face they photshopped onto my body though please?

Yes, and No..... an easy and very basic way to explain it is inside your house (from your router inwards) the IP will change of your PCs when they reconnect after rebooting your router. From the router outwards you will have the SAME IP address (just think of it like an address of your house) So, naturally if you go elsewhere your IP addy will be different. However, the MAC address can't be changed, it's burnt into the actual computer and you can block people specifically this way sometimes (not always efficient TBH, as people can use a different computer)
Blocking an IP can be tricky as a whole group of people may use the same one but have different subnet masks, you could find a whole UNI blocked for example.... |

Sorry for the sarcasm  I think to be honest its just one of those "internet" things and not really someone who has it in for blonde. Its quite common for these spambots to target certain types of forum (the scripts are easy downloaded) and go through the members list spamming them all. |
